Directions

STEP 1

STEP 2

On work surface, separate glass tiles into individual color piles. Use color pile with most pieces as main color/background for skull.

STEP 3

Print out patterns.

STEP 4

Use pencil and transfer paper to roughly transfer pattern outlines onto surface areas of skull using photo as guide.

STEP 5

Use glass nippers to cut tiles to fit within areas on designs, leaving 1/8” spaces between tiles. When satisfied with design, apply adhesive onto back of tiles and adhere onto skull. Work in small sections at one time so adhesive doesn’t set too quickly. After adhering tiles into designs, fill in remaining background areas on skull. Let set overnight.

STEP 6

In mixing bowl, add 5 Tbsp. of White grout and 1 Tbsp. of water. Mix with craft stick or plastic spoon until grout reaches “fudge-like” consistency, adding 1 Tbsp. of water at a time. If too watery, add more dry grout to mixture.

STEP 7

Wearing disposable gloves, spread grout into openings between tiles on skull. Wait about 15 minutes for grout to set.

STEP 8

Gently wipe away excess grout using damp sponge, taking care to not pull grout out of spaces. Remove grout from surface of tiles before completely dry.
